Today I went to "Aunty Bea's" funeral service. It's a cold but sunny day... The chill in the air of the winter lingering a bit too long reminds me of our vunerability to all of life's difficulties. We wrap our arms around ourselves in order to shield ourselves from the cold and so much more. Bea experienced sorrow and loss long before I met her. She did not escape the coldness of life but graciously moved forward with style, warmth and humor. Her good manners gave her an air only a lady possesses. She laughed easily and enjoyed her life and her family in a way that more of us should aspire to do. I remember Bea smiling at my showers and my wedding, and I will never forget that she sent me my first Mother's Day card. She is probably walking around in heaven, wearing her high heels, and keeping Doris, her dear friend, waiting to go to God knows where! We are all awaiting the warmth of spring. May the fond memories of a lovely lady from Cypress Road inspire us to embrace an appreciate it with a smile. Love and sympathy to Bea's family and close friends. Chris Mulligan

I have many nice memories of Bea. She was a wonderful lady and seemed to enjoy the activities I helped provide at Merry Heart. She will be missed!

I first met Mrs. Kennedy (a.k.a. Mom Mom) almost forty years ago. For me, it was love at first smile! She was impeccably dressed with high heel shoes…..at a barbeque! I thought to myself…..”what a classy grandmother.” She was always smiling and had a great sense of humor…..and soon became my idol….even though, on occasion, I was the recipient of her stern “look”….over the rim of her glasses!! She was definitely not someone you wanted to mess with!!! My children were only babies and I was already saying that if and when I ever became a grandmother, I wanted to be called “Mom Mom” after Mrs. Kennedy. Through the years I saw her at many family events and parties, and each time she looked even younger…..still wearing those high heels. My family always enjoyed spending time with her and the fun-loving daughters whom she raised to be just as classy! The day finally came when I was blessed with my first grandchild. I was so excited when my daughter asked if it was still my desire to be called “Mom Mom.” Of course, it was…..and I told her I hoped I could be as much fun and as good a Mom Mom as the “real Mom Mom.” I now have five grandchildren who call me Mom Mom, and every time they address me I always think of Mrs. Kennedy. I must admit that I have felt like somewhat of an imposter, though…..not being the “real one.” So, now in my sadness, I must step up to the plate and try to continue the tradition she started. I am still wearing the high heel shoes, still partying…..and God willing, will be given as much time and as many blessings as she had. She was a truly great lady……May she rest in peace. All my love to her very special family who is so very special to mine.

Dear Kennedy family, You don't know me but I do hope you'll accept my deep regrets for your loss. Death is our greatest enemy and always brings pain and grief which I felt when I lost my whole family to it but I found hope and comfort from what Jehovah Gods word the Bible says at John11:11 and Mark5:39 that they'er just asleep and Jesus states at John5:28,29 that I'll see them again and this helps me get through each day because I miss them so much. I do hope that by your reading these scriptures in your Bible that you'll find hope and comfort also for this is my purpose in sharing this with you. Please know that I do share your grief and trulyl hope this has helped in some way. Sincerely, Gloria Mosley

Fly to Heaven Aunty Bea - you will be missed. So glad you are now with Uncle Rod again and of course Tommy and Doris. Perfect "Bea" memories: Endless "lost my keys again" moments and they always ended up being in the front door all night long. How Aunty Bea loved to dance and have fun. Her full length WHITE mink coat and her high heels heading to Star of the Sea Church. Tea time with Aunty Bea - A perfect cup of tea and some ginger snaps. How she loved and took care of Aunt Ellie. Working with her at Lakeside Pharamcy - couldnt wait to get there every night to hear her stories. The list is endless - the memories are priceless. Love you Aunty Bea....you are safe in God's arms now.

In loving memory of

Beatrice
